THIS IS IMPORTANT

Jehane Noujaim was just arrested in Cairo.  She’s a documentary filmmaker (Control Room, Startup.com) and TED Prize winner (Pangea Day).  Her producer and legal counsel have located her but Egyptian authorities will not release her and are rushing her into trial in the morning.  

It is important to get the word out far and wide.  Noise matters in situations like this.  Please tweet, like, share, post.
